Blurb:
A sinister illusionist wants Alice... and he won't take no for an answer.
Read the whole series with all the deleted content included!
As eager as Alice was to start her new job, she got far more than she bargained for when entering employment at Strande Estate.
Inexplicable noises.
Haunting legends.
A sexy-as-they-come amateur magician.
And…an enticingly wicked ghost.
Alice didn’t believe in anything paranormal when she arrived, but each d ...more

I came across this find for free and while it sounded interesting, it captivated me. It was my first read by Kathryn Ann Kingsley and while paranormal ghost romance stories are not typically my thing, I enjoyed it nonetheless.
While I am the type of person who reads reviews and potential spoilers (based on ratings, yes I am that person), I stayed away from reading spoilers with this read and I'm so happy I did. Its best to go in blind with a vague sense of storyline.

Not usually a big fan of PNRs, well okay...not counting Ms. Brandon's Demonology Series - I don't have enough great things to say about them, I really love those, but I really enjoyed this one. I read several Amazon reviews but one short & to the point "bad review" sucked me in. This was an engaging and entertaining story.
Sooooo...why not 5 stars? I prefer a lot more graphic detail and horror but for some reason it seems like every time there's an "evil" Julian male lead im sucker punched. Anot ...more

Fantastic story! Julian is devilishly dark, handsome, and mysterious. Alice is smart, shy, and sweet.
All she wants is to take her few possessions and her cat to start over at her new odd and possibly slightly haunted job. The fact that her new boss is cute, funny, and wants to be more than friends is an extra bonus after she gets used to the idea. But once Julian sets his eyes on her Alice's life will never be the same.
I absolutely loved this story and these characters. Kingsley is the queen of ...more

Impossible to put down
After reading other reviews I decided I could spare the dollar to purchase this set of books and I am so glad I did! I was sucked into a world of magic, love, happiness, anger and more. It was such an emotional rollercoaster that I literally had to take a chill pill when I started thinking it wasn't going to end how I was hoping. I wish the story could never end! ...more

Ohhh, so good. Alice starts a new job as a caretaker of the Julian Stande estate. He was a magician that mysteriously disappeared approx a hundred years ago after writing his own obituary. Now the estate is run by his great-grandnephew Charles, who looks similar to him and is also a magician.
Alice catches Charles' eye and the eye of someone else...the ghost of Julian Stande.
I loved this steamy triangle and can't wait to read this again and again. ...more

4 1/2 STARS! Complete 2 book story of The Impossible Julian Strande. Full length stand-alone told in dual POV with HEA. This is my first time reading this author and my first time reading a ghost story. I really enjoyed it!! There is magic & mystery but mostly it is a love story between two lonely souls! There are some steamy times, and a lot of sweet times too. The story is very detailed and draws you in, I highly recommend it!

Wow
Omg, I couldn't put it down. I read it in 2 days. I loved the twists and the chemistry between the main characters. Definitely would recommend it. ...more

How I adore this author!
Every book I have read of Kathryn Ann Kingsley's has been a pure delight. I was an avid reader until I hit my early 30's... Then, just couldn't get back into it. Kathryn was the one made me fall in love with reading all over again, now at 41. (Yes, I just dated myself...lol) This book starts out the normal realm of an average girl, who felt like she was in a rut. She ends up in an unlikely situation, unbeknownst to her, after applying for a job. This book took me through ...more

This box duet is absolutely amazing.
I came across the first book on Amazon for free and decided to give it a try. Once I started reading I was hooked. I couldn't put it down. I never would have thought that I would love this type of book. I later read the last book and the ending made me cry. Which isn't very common when I read books. The characters are amazing and I love Julian. I could totally see myself falling for him, even though he is so evil. Alice was amazing too, she is one tough cookie ...more

Wonderfully wicked dark romance.
I love this series. It was a perfect blend of romance, suspense and the paranormal. Alice had no idea how her life would change when she accepted the job to work at the Strande Estate. She is a wonderful character - strong, brave, determined. Julian Strande is absolutely twisted and evil. His antics had me laughing one minute and cringing the next. He is definitely not a likeable character but somehow the reader cannot help but love him. The story is told from bo ...more

Fantastical story
You will feel all the feels in this one. Looking for intrigue, suspense, all-consuming love, a healthy dose of fear, obsession, or a combination of all of the above? You will find it in this book.
Julian Strande is a villainous villain who doesn’t quite redeem himself, and Alice is his (un)lucky obsession.

I was really drawn to the villain/counterpart to Alice the main character. He's witty and the sexual tension between the two is so enjoyable. Spicy love life. Even more interesting twist, even if the hints were more than apparent. I could read this again and still enjoy it as I did the first time. Definitely adding Kathryn Kingsley to my list of authors to recommend.

The impossibly creepy
I am torn. The story was original, well written and flowed however the overwhelming domestic violence was very uncomfortable to read and Alice's decision difficult to swallow. Not a read if triggered by DV. ...more
